Everything you need to teach a lesson on two variable linear equations is right here. Objective, vocabulary, tech tips videos, and multiple downloadable files are all included. Learners will use the TI-Nspire technology to determine the...

Here is an engaging lesson on solving equations with two variables. Have the class rewrite linear equations in the slope intercept form, y=mx + b. They graph the lines using the slope and y-intercepts.

Using rates from a rental car company, young mathematicians graph data, explore linear relationships, and discuss the role of slope and the y-intercept. This lesson allows for the discussion of independent and dependent variables, as...

Students solve equations by writing expressions. In this algebra lesson, students identify the different values for each variable. They use the navigator to see how to solve equations.

Students solve equations with variables on both sides of the equations. In this algebra lesson, students use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to solve problems. They combine like terms and identify the unknown.

Students identify the types of transformations in their lives. As a class, they determine the ones they have control over and which ones they do not. They practice solving problems in math and oral communication that they are faced with...

High schoolers investigate perimeter patterns formed by a hexagon and a triangle. They will identify the dependent and independent variable and write a function for the relationship.

Experimentally, come up with a study design. Learners hear about different types of study designs, observational studies, and experiments. They identify the subjects, response variable, treatment, and whether there was a cause and...

First graders learn the basic needs of plants and identify geometric shapes while planting a fall garden. Combining math and science in one lesson, the resource guides kids through starting their class garden as they...

Examine parts of an expression in this algebra lesson. Ninth graders identify the properties of the coefficient and their behavior to the graph. They graph the equation on a TI to see their results.

An inquiry-based algebra lesson explores real-world applications of linear functions. Scholars investigate four different situations that can be modeled by linear functions, identifying the rate of change, as well as the...

Sixth graders set up a pendulum experiment deciding which variable to manipulate (length of string or weight on the string). They create a hypothesis, collect necessary equipment, and write out each step of their experiment. They then...

Time to experiment with mathematics! Learners study experimental design and how randomization applies. They emphasize the difference between random selection and random assignment and how both are important to the validation of the...

Students identify different types of functions and units of measurements. In this statistics lesson, students will collect data, graph their data and make predictions about their data. They plot a linear regression graph.

Pupils explore the concept of derivatives. They use implicit differentiation to determine points on a graph where a tangent line is horizontal, vertical, or oblique. Finally, learners find the derivative of a polynomial by...

Pupils investigate financial applications of mathematics in this mathematics instructional activity. They will investigate equations that represent a company’s income, expense, and profit functions and use those equations to identify...

Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The worksheet includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

Learners investigate what a controlled group is by creating an experiment.  In this plant growth lesson, students identify the different parts of a plant and discuss what is needed for a plant to be successfully grown....

Students explore linear relationships. In this sixth through eighth grade mathematics lesson, students explore the symbolic representation of verbal descriptions of mathematical rules defining the relationship between two variables.

Scholars identify how the TI-89 implements phasors to perform sinusoidal steady-state analysis. The focus is on how to enter and display complex numbers. They also show how a typical steady-state application how to use the Numeric Solver...

In this algebra lesson, pupils sample food and identify acceptance sampling. They create specific plans to meet specific situations as they sample the food. There are 6 questions.

Students identify the vertex and intercepts of a parabola. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph parabolas and factor quadratic equations. They perform transformation on the parabolas.

Algebra learners look at equivalent expressions in the context of three different operations: division, squaring, and absolute value.  In comparing these values, they will identity when expressions are equivalent. 

Eighth graders explore and demonstrate the seven steps of the scientific method. They predict how much sugar is in chewing gum and test, analyze, and calculate the sugar content of gum.
